Monumental Cemetery of Milan

Great location with some beautiful architecture and sculptures, a lot of unique tombs and tombstones, and an iconic main building definitely worthy of being called monumental. The whole place is quite large and it’s expectedly calm and quiet, making for a great place to walk among the interesting designs and the more- and lesser-known tombs. The main building and the hall with Manzoni’s tombstone is really beautiful, and the walk along the terraces is interesting.

We visited the Monumental Cemetery of Milan in winter, and it was an unforgettable experience. This stunning place is not just a cemetery but an open-air museum filled with breathtaking sculptures, intricate mausoleums, and historical significance. Walking through the peaceful pathways with my partner, we were amazed by the artistic details and the stories behind each monument. The Famedio (Hall of Fame) is particularly impressive. Even in winter, the serene atmosphere and the unique charm of the architecture made it a perfect spot to explore. Highly recommend it for art and history lovers visiting Milan!

Beautiful cemetery but when we visited, they closed the main building so we could not enter upstairs. Nonetheless, the tombs outside were impressive and adorned with sculptures. The cemetery is well-maintained. Tourists are welcome with free entrance. Easily accessible by subway or tram.

I think it was the most interesting place in Milano. We took the most photos here during our entire stay in Milan. Beautiful monuments of human vanity and the need to show love for your loved ones, and i personalny think - your economic status. Very interesting and worth to see.

Very special and very beautiful place to visit. You learn quite a lot about the relation to death and perception of memory in Italy while walking through truly beautiful paths, featuring interception of greenery, stone, art and death.

Beautiful cemetery that is very well maintained. Also you can see famous tombs of politicians, authors, writers and people that influenced Italian culture.

So dark. So gothic. So gorgeous. Fascinating experience. Get ready to be astonished. I went there on rainy day and didn’t regret a single second.

This cemetery is truly exceptional. I have been to many incredible cemeteries and art museums around the world, but the monumental cemetery is very special. It truly is a gallery of a memorializing the departed. The works of art here are absolutely phenomenal. A few of them gave me goosebumps when I stood by them. The artists that created these memorials truly captured grief, sorrow, love. It is a large place and almost overwhelming with all the there is to see, but I definitely recommend coming here. It is very peaceful and a great place to feel connected with all the souls here that touched this world once.
